Anyone see Arizona run the wildcat tonight with their safety, Antrel Rolle? He dropped back and threw a bomb to a wide-open Fitzgerald just feet from the endzone, but it was knocked out by two Giants defenders.

I wouldn't say we should retire the wildcat altogether. We just lack the creativity to use something like that effectively right now. I do, however, think we've got the personnel for it.

I just feel we are doing it wrong.

The dolphins run the wildcat because they have two strong backs. They take their QB out so everyone knows whats coming 98% of the time yet they still get yards. Why can't we do what they do? We have arguably the best backfield in all of football, an amazing WR and a decent oline with okay blocking TE's. Why not take jake's sorry ass out and actually run the wildcat with 11 on 11...with misdirection off a in motion stewart or smitty.

Instead our Mildcat is a direct snap to dwill where the whole defense can concentrate on the run with no illusions whatsoever. Its amazing that we even gain a yard.

But i guess its too much to ask fox or davidson to do something not out of football for dummies.

It is more like the Mildcat, it never works and is very illustrated when we run it.... lets not waste the down please

What.... you dont think a direct snap to D.Will and then him running directly straight into a pile of lineman for 2 yards is a good play??

I agree thought the wildcat, the way the Panthers run it, is a wasted play. Its the same everytime, like I described above.

If only we had personnel as good as those who used it to run all over Atlanta a few years ago. You know, guys like DeShaun Foster as a secondary option, and stud blockers up front like Mike Wahle, Will Montgomery and Evan Mathis. At least we still have Williams to take the snaps, but without the rest of that talent it's amazing our OC can get any positive yardage out of it at all...

      Build up the Dline, just like the Oline

      Yeah, I am not 100% against trading down but it needs to be at the right price. Also, because this appears to be a draft lacking in a lot of elite prospects, trading down could potentially backfire(as it always can, I suppose) or net a lower yield than typical. I just don't want to be fumbling around and reaching, which in the Tepper era has been a CONSTANT problem. The organizational impatience(and incompetence) been murderous.

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      Yeah I said that earlier all or most of these guys are broadcasting or doing the little Huddle show and stuff like that, they are affiliated this season.  I think Cam went in using the ESPN tack because it stuck it to Tepper and didn't criticize a player and that worked for him. Plus he ended up working for ESPN.....

      Sports are a different animal. It's gladiator poo. You wouldn't go out and put the uniform on of the best burger maker in your neighborhood either. So, when we watch these athletes being amazing and giving their all, it is for more than just a check. The guys that are truly driven and love these games, they are doing it for many more reasons than the money. Boiling it down to a simple transactional thing is simplistic, at best. So, yeah, I can understand how Cam can feel jilted when other great Panthers are trotted out and honored by the organization and he isn't. Especially considering he is overwhelmingly the best QB to have ever played for us and literally put this franchise into the national spotlight because of the player he was, the things he accomplished and the personality that he is. So....yeah, I would be upset about that too if I were in his shoes. The money, that the business side. That other poo, that's personal.
